1.11 Buffers for pathogens Buffers can reduce pathogens in surface runoff from urban lands, pastures, manure-applied fields, and confined animal feeding operations but are generally ineffective by themselves to meet wate

1.5 Arrangement near sources Buffers should be located as close as possible to the pollution source and should be placed along the contour to promote shallow flow across the buffer. If the contour is not closely followed

1.25 Sediment removal Sediment trapped in a buffer will change flow into the buffer over time, often resulting in concentrated flows. Periodic removal of accumulated sediment may be necessary. Use erosion control practic

1.8 Effective buffer area ratio The amount of runoff through an area of buffer should be low to achieve high pollutant removal. One consideration is to base the design on a ratio of upslope runoff area (A) to effective b
